761  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Pumping After The Arrest of Sam on: January 19, 2023, 09:18:51 PM
Recovery of $5B cypto assets by FTX has contributed to the high in bitcoin price,many people will see it as good news and they will want to invest into bitcoin. The politicians and influencers who are encouraging SBF in the shitty game can even pump in funds just to influence the crypto market.

The bullish market hasn't come yet,we are enjoying the little increase which might not last but I wonder if bitcoin might go back to the bear market ant might be below 15k. this year or will it not go below 20k anymore due to FTX recovery of some funds.
$5B really? But, it's great that they still recovered it. The total amount scammed was $8B right? I am not sure if they still can find this missing piece because it was probably used for the different activities of SBF. If we want to invest in Bitcoin, we don't need to wait for a positive signs like this.

I know it's not an attempt made by whales to trap the investors but there are still a possibility that the price could collapse because there will be people who will sell their BTC once they see an increase. The best time to invest is always when the price is low. Until now there are still people who believes that the bottom is not achieved yet so maybe $15k or below than it is still possible.

Just from your illustration, one needs not to be told that minimum deposit and withdrawal have a very great role to play especially for new casinos who are trying to stay relevant in the industry.
Your illustration also stated that, the player was a newbie on that very casino and has a budget and I guess his budge was because he first wanted to test how good the casino would be when it comes to deposit and withdrawal and these are the first two things I have to think of before hopping into a gambling site because I wouldn't want a situation where it seems I got lured into the site with minimum deposit and when it gets to withdrawal, it then becomes very difficult to withdraw.
Minimum deposit and withdrawal has a great role to play in online casinos.
Indeed but I think many of them still underestimate it but they instead focus on other things which they think more beneficial for their success. They will come to a point where they still fail and they still haven't figured out that the problem maybe because of their minimum deposit and withdrawals.

Testing the site first is important so that we will avoid getting screwed in case there are some bugs and glitches but there is no way we will deposit big amounts only for this purpose because what if the casino is a scam? They can offer faucets and free credits but there are other requirements that can come along with them. The feeling is still different if we deposit using our own money.

This is complex content so I will explain my opinion in short and best possible way. If you keep using same client seed and do same bets on same games casinos can take advantage of stable variables to rig provably fairness. Shuffle puff is used to give player worst possible combinations and it will lead to more losses than green bets.  You are safe if you use various random client seeds and try different original games, IMHO.
Oh really? Never knew this yet. I don't know if it's true or not but I knew a good number of gamblers who keep on changing/shuffling their seeds. It's not they think that the casino can cheat on them as on what you explain but they only believe that it increases their winning chance.

I know that we can also edit and write costume words as our seeds so they also write weird words and characters on it but most of the times it was their favourite/lucky numbers. For me, I never change my client seed. I think I am over a million bets already with the same seed that I use but believe it or not, I still can be able to win. IMO it's not about the seeds but it's about the reputation of the casino.
764  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 18, 2023, 09:29:09 PM
The odds for Manchester United looks good and i am sure most of people predict Manchester United will gets 3 points from Crystal Palace and regarding team condition currently Manchester United squad were very solid that all of players in the good mentally especially after gets 9 consecutive wins from all competitions and regarding Crystal Palace apparently Patrick Vieira still cannot bringing this team reach to their top performance even Crystal Palace was unstable under him and although this is home match for Crystal Palace but they have poor records during play at their home ground and not so hard to beat them and for betting options i think Manchester United win is safe bet and i am sure Manchester United will continue their positive trend through this match


head to head between crystal palace vs manchester united is very interesting, MU looks superior but we don't know what will happen on the field because even crystal palace can give a surprise in this match especially since this match takes place at their home ground. but what makes me sure that MU will win are the positive results that MU got in their last few matches, they always win and these positive results will definitely continue. the ten hag strategy is more effective than the strategy that Vieira will use.
Having a great momentum is cool for any team, you could be the last team in the league and if you win 5 games in a row (which will take you out of the last place) then I would bet for you on 6th game if you were playing against City or Arsenal. That kind of momentum doesn't just happen out of nowhere, it means something was wrong in that team and it got corrected and they are now great.

This is why I believe that we should be supporting United on their games and betting on them to win until they are no longer playing well enough. For now, on any game that they play, even on Barcelona game, I am going to support them and bet on their win for sure, until something changes of course.

Affiliate links mostly work for the influencers and the content creators. Myself got a request to share affiliate link, watching my wager. Based on that i concluded that the whale gamblers will receive more affiliate request.
This is true. For just usual users, getting benefits from affiliate links seems hard and a big challenge.

For affiliate commissions to feel to the very extent of it, being popular is really one of the pre-requisites.

That's why it's only a few users there who really putting effort in getting the benefits affiliate commissions.
I know there are sites that offers affiliate promotions. This should help us get a lot of users to sign up under our links but they are not free. This is what they say that you need money to make more money. We can still try on our own too. Some casinos are great as they provide marketing materials to promote our affiliate links such as banners, bb codes, and many others.

We can then use it on the profile of our social media accounts or here in the forum. As for the main question if what crypto casino is rewarding. My guess would be rollbit? Since they have this tagline ; "the most rewarding casino". I am not affiliated with them, but they are only the first casino that came in my head after seeing this thread.

The performance of Barcelona in the Supercup was a real great one and it was against one of the best teams not only in La Liga but also in the world which is Real Madrid.Barcelona completely dominated the game and deserved to win the cup however this does not assure that they are going to qualify further against Manchester United,sure it has much higher chances but it is not a sure thing.It is not a sure thing because Manchester United lately is on fire in the Premier League even winning the last derby against Manchester City to continue their winning streak,so for me is 65-35%,65% for Barcelona and 35% for Manchester United to qualify further.
I agree that they played a great game but I also have to say that Reals defense didn't play that well at all as well, this was a game that Real lost as much as Barcelona won, and not everyone will play like this and even Real wouldn't play like this most of the time.

It was obvious from the first minute that defense of Real didn't know how to defend against Barcelonas style of attacking, if they played again just a week later then they would be a lot different because they would be ready, and they will play soon in the league and you will see that it's not going to be the same. Which is why it's going to be as legit as it could possibly get in that game, and that's an important deal.
767  Economy / Economics / Re: These Are the Top 10 Most Profitable Side Hustles in 2023 on: January 17, 2023, 09:24:01 PM
All these could be called a side hustle if actually or truly the person have those skills. For one to engages himself with those side hustle, he or she needs to have those knowledge before taking them as side hustle.
E.g., Like Driving, if someone didn't have a good practice or a good standard i don't think such person can run it as a side hustle, perhaps, he must be very good in driving or driving to the international standard.
If i were a driver in Nigeria, and i moved down to U.S, i can't just immediately applied for driving and i got employed rather i will also go to a driving school over there to get to their standard before any company in U.S could possibly get me hired. So is applicable to rest side hustle apart from Nursing. It requires at least having an OND certificates from any Authorized college or institute before one could be at least be allowed to operate as an assistant.
It's really a difficult thing but you could even make this a full-time job. I know plenty of people who went to USA and then started being a Uber driver after a while, and they started to make their entire living out of that.

Of course, these were not people who were uneducated or anything so they had some skills that they could use as well, but they just didn't because Uber made them THAT much money. I know a family and both husband and wife they do Uber and they are making more money than median family income of an American household, which is about 60k give or take, and they are making about 88k together per year, which is proof of how much you could make with these.
768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 16, 2023, 07:08:04 PM
Dortmund has really played a great role to the world of football.  Dortmund is capable of building young players and sells to other teams.  This players  performs well when they are signed into a new team. Making money as a club is a big scheme as a club.
No doubt, Dortmund has contributed a lot in building up many football teams by giving out good starlets. But I dislike their operation on one side and that is Giving out players to another team without utilizing them first to achieve something for the club. This act is like producing a gun and then giving it to someone else to use against u. Dortmund's ability should help grow their team but it is only progressing other teams and it's wrong.
They are doing this all because they have business model on this way for many years as mostly they buy youngsters and then work on them and sell for higher prices which is doing good financially help their all system but sadly in this current season they are suffering due to having sell of Haaland and illness of their new signing Haller which is out of the game but hopefully now things could be better for them in coming weeks because this is important for them if they are not able to have better performance then surely they are going to suffer even they can stay out of the next seasons Champions League because right now competition is tough for them for staying at the top of the league table.
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 16, 2023, 12:45:11 PM
Pakistan actually performed decent enough. But they did not perform well enough to win. So I think if Pakistan is actually interested in improving they will be able to. But Sri Lanka did not perform well enough as they should have in my opinion. And the last match from Sri Lanka was absolutely horrible. There's no way they should have been all out for 72 runs.

But overall I agree that this is not a good start for Pakistan and Sri Lanka this year. Hopefully, there will be able to improve and perform better in the next series.
In my opinion, the bad start of the year never have any impact on team and their future but right now these both former world champions in ODI and T20i facing same situations not only in cricket but in other many aspects as well which needs improvement and better strategy for fixing their problems because both have enough quality and players those can bring changes in any game but having no discipline and performance giving them shocking defeats.

Pakistan done good against New Zealand but in last game GP done good time damage and win the series for his team but for Sri Lanka we have the worst case as they lost badly and have no positive things which bring better results for them as well which is surely more terrible for them in coming days as well.

Brighton looks like an experienced team in the match against liverpool. I wonder how many people will still believe in liverpool after so many bad results happened in EPL? real madrid is far greater compared with liverpool in any thing. Im thinking about the new player didn't evne give good contribution to the liverpool. Gakpo was actually over rated player in my opinion. Gakpo has the same quality like felix that has been going to the chelsea. Both have very bad debut in EPL.
Liverpool's defeat against Brighton is surely shocking with this now feelings and thoughts are changing because if they are not able to have good results against teams like Brighton then surely they can suffer against Real Madrid which is having much better performance and quality in Champions League, and they can give them big defeat as well for having their seat into last eight of the Champions League this season teams.

Now, if they are not going to bring changes then surely here we can expect worst end of this season with no place into top four and early exit from Champions League recently they have Gakpo which was good in world cup and expectations were high, but now it's all showing it's just overrated player even we can expect better in coming days, but they need to turn quickly before it's too late for them.
771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 Oscar Awards betting and discussions on: January 16, 2023, 09:05:32 AM
As for the fact that the favorites win in most cases, it is natural - otherwise they would not be favorites. The same thing happens in sports - if you look into the depths of years, you can find very few seasons when a non-favorite won in a round-robin tournament. Even in tennis, where the games are knockout and there is no room for error, the favorites mostly win.
It's true that in any competition, including the Academy Awards, the favourites often have the best odds of winning. This is because the favourites are typically the films or performances that have received the most critical acclaim, have the most buzz, and have a strong track record of winning other awards.

It's also true that it's not impossible to know what is on the minds of the members of academy juries who vote for the Oscars. While the voting process is private and the academy doesn't release the results of the voting, there are many sources of information such as industry experts, critics, and insiders who can provide insight into the thinking of the academy members. However, it's important to note that the final decision is up to the members and it's not possible to know for sure who will win until the ceremony.

When those investors are already aware of or get scammed on those new projects, they tend not to invest anymore unless they see the most promising one, which is very rare right now. I was also investing in ICOs before, but when I saw there were a lot of shitcoins coming out, I quit. Furthermore, many new coins are now being copied by others, and some were simply created for fun or as a meme. I just recall that those coins before had very promising roadmaps and white papers, but right now some new coins with their white papers are garbage.
For the majority yes but for a few number of people, they remain to be the same. No matter how much times they get fooled, they seem to can't learn but keeps on investing on riskier things again and again. Some times we just need to be scammed first before we learn but this process can possibly be skipped.

It shouldn't always be followed if we want to save much money. We can do it by learning a lot of things first. Make a research and ask questions that you don't understand. It's not that promising coins are now rare, it's just that the number of scams projects have only increase by a lot of folds but if we dig deeper, we can still be able to find them.
773  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what do you expect from cryptocurrency? on: January 15, 2023, 09:08:50 PM
Cryptocurrencies are like anything else in markets you will never generate endless amount of money. All bull markets will end somewhere and start bear market. In my opinion you should embrace you got from your first ever crypto acquisition. You will do better in next bull runs for sure. Altcoins are going around dip now although I think this year in 2023 we will definitely observe another altcoin run through some altcoins hitting top 10 or 20. Your altcoins are not bad coins by the way but I wouldn't hold them nowadays.
Right now the market have begun to move same as that of the traditional ones. When there is bull market, the same gets followed by the bear market. This is how every market operates and in between the fluctuations will bring revenue for the traders. Whether it is bitcoin or altcoins, my choice is to accumulate as much possible, because the variation in the market will be big in no time compared to that of other form of investments. Holding as much possible and keeping ourselves for the worst scenario is my way of expectancy.
When you say traditional it means the old ones or when the market is in a good state but the move that the market is showing lately is still the same to the last year's bear or by the time we are battling with the $20k zone. Indeed that there are two cycles here and that is the bears and bulls. We are currently in the bear right now but it doesn't mean that the price will now always on the low side.

There are still fluctuations. This won't be gone as long as the coin is not a stable coin or as long as it is not a pump and dump coin as those coins, will just move mostly on one direction. Cryptos have a big potential as compare to other forms of investments but they are also more riskier but we can minimize it as long as we will keep on learning.
774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Times when I visit casinos Versus When I don't on: January 15, 2023, 08:43:08 PM
This really depends on the individual, because some of us will go to the casino to express our sadness or to have fun and forget about our problems. It is like when we have problems, some of us will drink beer or alcoholic drinks so that we can easily sleep and also forget about it. Though I haven't tried going to a casino in these instances, for sure if I face this kind of problem I will try to play a couple of gambling games. If I can't feel my gameplay, then I should leave and try to find happiness in something else.
This is the main purpose of casinos or gambling, to give us enjoyment so why we must be able to use this according to its purpose or if we are problematic, emotional, stressed, depressed and etc.. beers and other alcoholic drinks can act the same but I just think they are bad as when compared to gambling.

You can get drunk and too much of it will also cause you high blood and other health complications. That is something that isn't dealt in gambling because we ain't consuming it in our body. If gambling, or any other thing isn't enjoyable anymore then you are right, we should stop them as doing them doesn't make sense anymore.
775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Criteria of a good gambler on: January 14, 2023, 09:26:09 PM
I suppose some characteristics which make a good gambler are going to change depending on the games you prefer to play, but at the same time there are other characteristics that I would guess should be pretty much the standard and self-explanatory, like keeping your gambling money separated from the rest of your money and never touch it should be one of the most basic skills of a good gambler, as if someone is incapable of even doing this much then they will eventually get into money problems.
Yes, well remembered! You said something that I didn't mention earlier.
But I also agree with that, I have no doubt that certain attributes/characteristics can be more important in a certain type of game/gambling/bet, and others, not so much.
An analogy that I can share, is with some sports, for example, if an athlete is very tall, possibly he can be a good basketball player, but if that same person wants to practice artistic gymnastics, he may have several obstacles in this sport because of his height.
I know that what I said is not something extremely assertive, but I believe it was something that better clarified what I wanted to say.
Another characteristic of a good gambler is being able to manage their emotions and not let them control their decisions. Being able to control impulsive behaviour and not getting caught up in the excitement of the moment is crucial in avoiding costly mistakes. Having a solid understanding of the game and its rules is also important, as well as being able to analyse the situation and make logical decisions based on the information available.

Good bankroll management is also essential, knowing when to quit while you're ahead and not chasing losses is key to being a successful gambler. Also, setting limits on how much you are willing to lose and sticking to them is essential.
776  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should be very careful with alts on: January 14, 2023, 08:56:51 PM
Many altcoins are based on scams, they appear only to make money for themselves. Many projects have seized on investors' greed for profit and raised funds for their own interests, rather than for the development of the project and the interests of investors.
That is what the scheme is and the old users like me know how such scams run under the convenient cover of anonymity that bitcoin and the internet has to provide them with. The ones who fall for these scams are mostly the newbies who seeing the price of bitcoin cannot afford to buy whole number of bitcoins and end up buying thousands of shitcoins that are worth the same but will surely drop to zero in a few months.

Point is that there will be successful altcoins that reach near to what bitcoin has been but these are rare and they will rarely be picked up unless you are getting lucky. Every team seems to be working hard but below the table you never can be sure. Hence keeping bitcoin as the max investment yields the safer portfolio.
Scams are getting a lot more sophisticated as well, there is a chance that we could end up with something that is a lot worse in the size of it but a lot better in the quality and still scam people. I have to say it's not an easy thing to handle and it would be a tough sell.

I just need to make sure that I get my hands away from those good looking new stuff because they are just a facade and nothing more. If you want to make money, stay clear out of them and focus on the old ones that has a future and could go up a lot with the bull run, that's how I make my money so far. I know it's going to take a while but it is a good way of making money for sure.
777  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the $17,000+ bitcoin price breakout benchmark to new price direction on: January 14, 2023, 08:33:14 PM
I saw it hit $21k just now but it was short and sweet, however, I was on the fence as the price suddenly drops to $20,400. So the resistance but now should be in the $21k'ish, as this is the second time that we have attempted that price breach it and then goes down hard again.

It's weekend anyway so let's how its going to be slow and the price will continue to ascend and not go down below $20k because that is a big psychological barrier that we need to reach and then sustain.
It is around there, and the good thing about the situation is that we didn't had just one pump. We reached to 19k levels first and then stopped for a while and then reached to 21k after that once again too. Which is why it's such a big deal, because it means that we have reached to a point where it had 2 big pumps back to back.

This doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a big increase later on neither, maybe it will and maybe it won't but that doesn't change the fact that it will not have anything good coming up, it could have a few more back to back increases like this until the month ends and maybe we will close the month with 30k? That is possible if you ask me.

May Getafe match be the start of Sevilla's revival as they haven't won since 3 months, the position they are at now is really depressing for a team who was among the top 4 last season. Hopefully these two matches could distance them a bit from the riskiest ranks in case they managed to win, although Surprises usually comes from the teams that are at the bottom of the table.
But winning they should be able to maximize the match against Girona this time. Even if the actual performance for this season Girona is better but Sevilla's momentum is still there.
The problem is that right now they will be playing away and this is a bit inconvenient I think because regardless of anything they are struggling and playing away obviously makes it even more difficult.
The condition of the series is still very big if you look at the team's current performance, but other possibilities, such as one team losing by a narrow score, can still happen.
Having some sort of step towards a better days with a schedule benefit is not the way to stay. I understand having a few easy games to play back to back giving you a momentum is a good part of football and definitely helps out time to time. But that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about a team that has been losing a lot and they are in relegation zone to begin with, and could they get out of it? Sure, why not?

At the same time, they could go back in there when easier scheduling stops and they start to face better teams again. Which is why it's never a good idea to be a team that only beats bad teams, because you may just become one of them in the end.

People expecting Mbappe and Messi to have a problem with each other are making nonsense out of nothing. I mean this is a duo that earns more than 100 million euros a year together, that should tell you how much professional they are, and they make nearly 10 million a month, meaning about 2 or so million a week, and hundreds of thousands of dollars per day, tens of thousands of dollars per hour they are alive. If we look at it as just the games? Millions of dollars per game they play.

How could you expect such professionals to be like high school kid drama? Of course that won't happen, of course they will be fine with each other, they know this is just business.
780  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC or altcoin on: January 13, 2023, 09:23:51 PM
while it is safer for Bitcoin to be the choice yet? altcoin shows bigger opportunity for short term investing But the problem is which to choose and how long will it take?
there are several occassion that  I do the same strategy buying bitcoin but also buying altcoins for other option.
and  this is what have been called diversification .
Indeed, when talking about short-term investments, of course altcoins are still a reasonable choice,
make sure we need to do research before determining which altcoin we invest in,
occasionally it is important to carry out a diversification strategy.
It's hard to make some sort of profit on bitcoin when we are talking about just a few months, it is possible with like leverage or so but it's really hard. On the other hand, if we are talking about making profit based on just altcoins then it would be very hard to keep them for too long as well, it would mean that we are required to keep it while that altcoin not crashing during that period or turn out to be a scam or a shady thing or hacked etc etc.

I agree that for short term max 2 months it's better to have altcoins, and if we are talking about 3 months or longer than it would be wiser to hold bitcoin. That's the difference between those two, but I could add ETH to the long term as well.
